The one thing I've learned in studying religious texts translated into English is you can't take some things literally. That would be like thinking the parables acttually happened. A lot gets lost in translation. For, example, you cannot trust anything a post King James Bible says about the date of Christmas, because King James commissoned the bible and modified certain things to match his desires. One of the things he instituted was moving Christmas to midwinter to coincide with the Pagan holiday of Midwinter.
